A guest was sharing how she worked at the zoo and how she would present the flying foxes. She said that they would stand on her head and cuddle her face
A three year old and his grownups have been coming here many times recently. They knew the dinosaur exhibit like the back of their hand and the three year old was giving tours. I hoped everyone remembered to tip their tour guide
An adult was in general apathetic about the animals at the cave, until I brought out Salazar’s skin and we looked at it. She was very interested in Salazar and loved him
When I ran the Clouds stage show I had the best reaction I have recieved so far from running it. I had the audience all clapping and a young friend signing thank you.
While running Step in Time I had a guest say that he didn’t believe in fossilization and was trying to convince me that it couldnt happen. I was sad because there were a lot of people in the gallery that I wanted to run my program for, but they all left before I could.
Latsr on a young couple was enthralled with learning about the process of fossilization. They asked me how I handle people that don’t believe in “all this stuff”. I was happy to tell them that I talked with someone only an hour and a half earlier and said they were the redemption arc for the day. Jacob walked by just at that time and says “Everyone loves a good redemption arc.” It was very amusing.
I was running wilderness tracking and I only placed out 3 sets of tracks and scat. Apparently this wasn’t enough for one group of young friends since they wanted to search more. Instead I had them help me hide the last 2 after guessing what animal they were (they got them right).
A child brought in a dinosaur encyclopedia and was matching the dinos to the dinos. She was spitting straight facts about dinosaurs and especially spinosaurus.
The best, best, best thing is when a little child gets Adapt to Thrive 100% and their parents are so impressed (because they were guessing wrong internally). It happened again today and was amazing
A child and her grandma asked me why all the dinosaurs died. I showed them the K-Pg boundary rock. I asked the child if she knew what coal was, she said of course, it’s what Santa brings when you’re naughty!
Two young teen visitors came in and were so excited about the Diplodocus. They were referencing how the person they knew must be so smart for knowing about it
“if birds are dinosaurs, and dinosaurs are reptiles, are birds reptiles?” Is the questions that continually divides us as a nation. While asking young adults this questions, we determined that chicken nuggets should be rebranded as dino nuggets. Jump on that Mcdonald’s!
“I got that by going pee pee” a young friend said as she pointed to each of her toy dinosaurs she was playing with on the dino hall floor. Her mom informed me she earned them while potty training.

Getting to run the Elephant Toothpaste stage show with Brian was really fun. Seeing him in front of the crowd was wonderful to see.
